Datex-Ohmeda / GE Compatible Adult Ear Clip SpO2 Sensor, 10 ft (3.0 m) – TS-E4-N

What Is the Datex-Ohmeda TS-E4-N Compatible SpO2 Sensor?

The SS-014-AE30 is a compatible aftermarket replacement, not an OEM part, for the Datex-Ohmeda / GE Healthcare TS-E4-N adult ear clip SpO2 sensor. It is a reusable, direct-connect pulse oximetry sensor that attaches to the earlobe. It provides continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation and pulse rate in adult patients. The cable runs directly from the ear clip to the monitor’s Datex-Ohmeda SpO2 input, so no separate adapter cable is needed. The sensor is calibrated for Datex-Ohmeda oximetry technology, so readings stay consistent with what clinicians expect from the original part.

Compatible Monitor Models

This sensor is compatible with a wide range of Datex-Ohmeda equipment. That includes the S/5 and System 5, AS/3, AS/3 Compact, CS/3, CS/5, CS/5 Compact, Cardiocap I, Cardiocap II, Cardiocap/5, Cardiocap S/5 Light, and Light Monitor, including configurations with M-series modules. It also works with the Aespire and Aespire 15 anesthesia systems. Supported transport and specialty units include the Capnomac Ultima, Oscar II, OSP-200, Satellite, Satellite Plus II, Satellite Trans, Trans Plus, and TruSignal platforms. The sensor also fits the M-ESTP, M-ESTPR, M-NESTPR, and M-PRESTN modules and the GE Healthcare Datex-Ohmeda S5. Before ordering, confirm that the monitor uses Datex-Ohmeda SpO2 technology. Masimo- or Nellcor-equipped configurations require a different sensor.

Design and Construction

The sensor uses a lightweight clip that holds the emitter and detector across the earlobe. The earlobe is a useful alternate site when finger placement is impractical. Examples include peripheral vasoconstriction, cold extremities, hand injuries or burns, excessive hand movement, and procedures where the arms are tucked or inaccessible. The sensor is rated for adult patients over 88 lbs (40 kg). The 10 ft (3.0 m) cable reaches from bedside, boom-mounted, or anesthesia-machine monitors without straining the connector. The 10-pin Datex-Ohmeda connector plugs directly into the monitor’s SpO2 port. Each sensor ships non-sterile in an individual bag and is designed to be cleaned and disinfected between patients according to facility protocol.

When to Replace Your SpO2 Sensor

Reusable ear clip sensors wear out from repeated cleaning, clip cycling, and cable flexing at the strain reliefs. Replace the sensor if the clip spring is weak or no longer holds securely on the earlobe. The same applies if the emitter or detector windows are scratched or clouded, the cable jacket is cracked or stiff, or the connector pins are bent or corroded. Performance problems are another sign of a failing sensor. Watch for persistent “sensor off,” “no signal,” or “check sensor” alarms, weak or erratic plethysmograph waveforms, and readings that change when the cable is moved. Take a sensor out of service immediately if it fails an SpO2 simulator check during preventive maintenance.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

The SS-014-AE30 cross-references to Datex-Ohmeda OEM part numbers TS-E4-N and OXY-E4-N and to GE Healthcare part number TS-E4-N. It also cross-references to AMC PR-A220-1005 and Unimed U910-09. Materials managers can use any of these numbers to confirm fit when replacing existing stock or consolidating purchasing across facilities. A finger clip version of this sensor (OXY-F4-N compatible) is also available for primary monitoring sites.
